Description

Tested on Facter v1.5.2

On EL4 Update 7, Facter returns:

lsbdistrelease => 4 lsbmajdistrelease => 4

On EL5 Update 3, Facter returns:

lsbdistrelease => 5.3 lsbmajdistrelease => 5

It would be good if lsbdistrelease was consistently major.update (e.g. 5.3).

Sorry, I should clarify: This is on Oracle Enterprise Linux that uses /etc/enterprise-release to contain it’s version strings.

el4# cat /etc/enterprise-release Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (October Update 7)

el5# cat /etc/enterprise-release Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Carthage)

Now I can see why the version strings differ. :)
